Wash and chop beets into 1-inch cubes. Set aside. Fill a pot large enough to hold a steamer with 1 inch of water. Place on stove, and let boil. Once water is boiling, add your chopped beats and steamer to the pot. Steam for about 12 minutes, or until beets are soft. Can enjoy warm or let cool.

Meanwhile, boil 1.5 cups of water in a second, smaller pot. Rinse dry quinoa to remove excess dirt. Once water is boiling, pour quinoa into pot, stirring every once in a while to make sure quinoa doesn't stick to the bottom. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa has absorbed all water and is fluffy in texture. Can enjoy warm or let cool.

Wash and chop lettuce. Toss all ingredients together in a big bowl, and enjoy!

Embrace the summer produce with this tropical, summery smoothie to start your day. The best part about smoothies is that typically, you can toss a conglomeration of foods into a blender, and it will taste yummy. Thank goodness for fresh summer produce!
